DJAM KARET ~ NO COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL HC PRODUCTIONS 013 ~ USA ~ Progressive Rock Recorded: 1985 - 2002 Released: 2004 This is the long overdue reissue of Djam KaretFind albums by this artist’s debut album, which was originally released only on cassette and sees the first release on CD only almost 20 years later. The highly improvised music played by the band was released under the ironic title No Commercial PotentialFind albums with this title, a commonly known phrase used by the Music Industry executives to describe music which is not compliant with the formula for making money on the charts. Djam Karet well understood that the kind of intellectual, free-spirited and quality music they perform has obviously very little appeal to the Music Industry moguls, and therefore decided from the very beginning to produce and release their music independently, which they still continue to do to this very day. The original debut album is released here on CD 1, which is paired with another recording of freely improvised rock music on CD 2, recorded 17 years later, during the A Night For BakuFind albums with this title sessions. The second CD is subtitled …And Still Getting The Ladies, another tongue in cheek reference to a Music Industry maxim about success. The music is of course highly rewarding and the album is a must for the many Djam Karet fans and a worthy challenge to new listeners.
